Everybody has one… whether you believe it or not.
For males, it comes just as naturally as with females. It’s called women’s intuition.
No, I’m not talking about anything trans-gender or the mythological “extra gene” or anything… I’m talking about that voice… that extra voice that is there… the voice of reason… that picks up where natural thought and conscience let go.
Let me explain…
For each of us, our voluntary actions are not just randomly selected and executed, but they have a set of filters they must go through before they culminate in either satisfaction or stupidity. Unlike our involuntary actions, like breathing and blinking, these actions are calculated and understood.
The first thing that dictates our voluntary actions is training. I define this as the sum total of our past life lessons that create a pre-programmed response to our future actions. We are trained to react a certain way to certain things.
The second thing that dictates our voluntary actions is our conscience. This is the reasoning part of us that understands consequences for our actions. This is the part that should, if all goes well, lead us to make the right decisions. However, our conscience doesn’t always win, and it doesn’t always produce the right results.
And that’s where the third thing comes in… women’s intuition. Now it’s time to really explain!
Every man has a woman of influence in his life. Whether it’s your mother, wife, or good friend, there is a God-given fail-safe that kicks in when stupidity begins to rear it’s ugly head. It may be the, “Are you really going to eat that?” comments, or the, “Should you really do that” comments, or the “I’m not sure that’s such a good idea” comments, but we’ve all heard them and… like them or lump them, we all appreciate them.
Women’s intuition has saved my life many a time. Sometimes it’s while driving down the road with a hamburger in one hand, a coke in the other, my knee on the steering wheel, and a map beside me that this intuition kicks in and erases a would-be News headline.
Or it may be while performing a super-masculine stunt with a power-tool at unprecedented heights that women’s intuition comes to call. It calls from the ground below, and it’s coming from the mouth of my beautiful wife!
I don’t know about the rest of mankind, but as for me… I certainly appreciate this influence in my life. It doesn’t always keep me from winning a Darwin award, but it certainly is usually right.
Man, if I would only listen!
